I am working on a 60 page comic issue. This will serve as the pilot for a planned series of comic books. I need someone who is experienced with drawing manga and anime inspired art. This issue needs to be sketched, inked, and shaded. The comic is in grayscale. I am looking for a style inspired by the famous mangaka, Akira Toriyama.

I am a young independent writer. As such, I do not have access to the resources of a large company. I am no Marvel or DC, but I have the passion, discipline and work ethic to make this work. I have drawn the pages myself already, but I am no professional. However, as a result, the artist will have detailed references to go off of. I have panel composition, page layout, and speech bubble placement all done already. I have character designs as well.

I expect an artist who is sharp, flexible, and has a good creative mind. I do have corrections to make from my original references, but I will ask for further corrections if I don't like an aspect of the drawing. I expect to see the sketches for the page before any additional work. I will always prioritize perfection in a page before moving on to the next page. I am looking for this comic to have energy. There needs to be movement and impact. As you will see in the reference pages I drew, I make liberal use of blur lines and impact shapes.

The minimum expectation is 4 pages per week. I will provide the references for the page at the beginning of the work week. You have to let me know if there are ANY questions you have in regards to the intent of my reference pages. The artist must do pencils, inking, and shading. It needs to be done digitally, and I would need the source files. I do NOT need lettering.

I would like to see a sample of a character before awarding the job, so that I get a feel of how your art style matches with my vision.
